Life

Julius Albert Maier was the son of Julius Jacob Maier , who in 1879 turned the Julius Maier u. Bank from his father's exchange office in Strasbourg . Comp. KG , which he then moved to Hanover four decades later .

Maier founded the private bank Julius Maier & Comp in Hanover in 1914 . and held its own despite the economic and political upheavals of the 1920s. As an old fighter and NSDAP member, he moved into numerous positions of power in 1933. So he became: President of the Lower Saxony Stock Exchange, board member of the Chamber of Commerce and Industry , since 1934 shop steward of the private banking business group for Lower Saxony and from 1937 to 1941 regional economic advisor .

As early as 1933, Maier benefited in Hanover from the decline of the Jewish houses Ephraim Meyer and Bankhaus ZH Gumpel under Julius Gumpel and Hermann Gumpel . While Maier did not sit on a supervisory board in 1932, he received 7 new mandates in 1933 alone, mainly in the cement and potash industry.

As a regional economic consultant, Maier was able to acquire the A. Spiegelberg bank in November 1936 in the course of the " Aryanizations " in order to take over the customer base and non- Jewish employees and to move his own offices to the building that was taken over in the center of Hanover Kommerzienrat Georg Spiegelberg bought it at the end of the 19th century at Landschaftsstrasse 1 and converted it in a representative way. Less than a year and a half later, Maier also took over the Adolph Meyer bank in the course of the “Aryanization” and thereby rose to become one of Hanover's leading private bankers in the sectors of emissions and industrial finance.

During the bombing of Hannover was the in the countryside road located building of the now Bankhaus Julius Maier u. Comp. completely destroyed before Julius Maier died a little later.

In 1955 , the two Hanoverian private banking houses Julius Maier and Franz Hallbaum merged in order to trace its roots back to the bank founded in Strasbourg in 1879 as the later Hallbaum bank in the MMWarburg & CO banking group .
